I've been looking into rsync.net for personal offsite backups (turns out using zfs locally doesn't make offsite easier), and was just doing the math comparing the monthly cost to buying drives, filling them, and leaving them at lab. Rsync.net offers a ton of awesome features, sadly the pricing is about an order of magnitude too high for a personal use case :(.

Yeah, and if you spend more than 60$ a year (which is low already), you can just have unlimited storage: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home (not an affiliate link, and I don't work for Amazon either)

Can't you just schedule an rclone cron job? http://rclone.org/ http://rclone.org/ - it supports a decent number of cloud services, maybe one suits your budget/requirtements? That's what I do from my FreeNAS box.

  Having looked around a bit now that seems like what I will end up doing.

  I just configured rclone to sync roughly 1MM files (and growing) to GCloud Coldline. Excellent tool.

There's currently a 10 day wait, but if you're comfortable with DIY, OVH/SoYouStart has an ARM server with a 2TB drive for $16.80 USD/month: https://www.soyoustart.com/us/server-storage/ https://www.soyoustart.com/us/server-storage/ Single drive, which may limit the use case, but wow, that's cheap.

"Rsync.net offers a ton of awesome features, sadly the pricing is about an order of magnitude too high for a personal use case" Even though you are using ZFS on your end, it's possible that it would be cheaper and better to use our 'borg' functionality and send us your data with borg. Cheaper, since our borg accounts (normal rsync.net account, but with our snapshot rotation disabled - you handle retention on your own, with borg) are discounted down to 3 cents.[1] Better because the resulting backups are encrypted at rest in a way that rsync.net cannot access in any way. It's just garbage to us. [1] http://www.rsync.net/products/attic.html http://www.rsync.net/products/attic.html
